More Delays In Renfro Case

A Kootenai County judge this morning reluctantly agreed to further postpone key hearings for the defendant in last month’s fatal shooting of Coeur d’Alene Police Sgt. Greg Moore. First District Senior Magistrate Barry Watson said he would reschedule the preliminary hearing for Jonathan Daniel Renfro for July 22. “I’m not inclined to continue it again though,” Watson told lawyers for the defense and the state. The judge also pushed back to June 24 a hearing on several motions the lawyers have filed in the case. He had been scheduled to hear those motions today. They include the prosecution’s motion to add a first-degree murder charge to the list of felonies Renfro is accused of, and another asking the judge to hold Renfro, 27, without bail. The defendant now is being held in the county jail on $2 million bail/Scott Maben, SR. More here.
